GRAND RAPIDS, MI—After a year of intensive search, authorities have arrested a wanted subject from Fife Lake who allegedly fled to avoid prosecution.

Michigan State Police said Randy Lee Brooks Sr. was arrested in Flint on Wednesday, April 23 on charges of fleeing and absconding to avoid prosecution, a felony. Authorities believe Brooks fled his sentencing last spring to avoid several fraud charges out of Wexford County.

Police arrested Brooks when he returned to the Flint area. He was using an alias, according to authorities.

Michigan State Police was assisted by the U.S. Marshal's Service and the Michigan Department of Corrections Absconder Unit.
